摘要:

我们提出了一个脉动稳定性分析的热后AGB的H-缺乏前白矮星星与积极的He燃烧壳。所采用的恒星模型是最先进的平衡结构的代表PG 1159星来自完整的演化的祖星。完全非绝热脉动计算的基础上,我们证实了理论证据的存在一个单独的PG 1159不稳定带的$\log T_{\rm eff} - \log g$图的特点是短周期$g$模式激发的$ε$机制。这条不稳定带部分重叠的中/长周期$g$ -模式的不稳定的经典$κ$ -机制作用于部分电离的C和/或O的PG 1159星的信封已经知道GW Vir不稳定带。我们发现,PG 1159星的特点是厚的富氦信封,并位于这个重叠区域内,可以同时表现出短和中/长周期。我们研究了VV 47的特殊情况,它是一个脉动行星状星云核心,据报道它表现出一系列异常短的脉动周期。我们发现VV 47表现出的长周期可以很容易地用经典的$κ$机制来解释,而观测到的低于$\approx 300$ s的短周期分支可以对应于He燃烧壳层通过$ε$机制触发的模式,尽管需要更多的观测工作来确认这些短周期模式的真实性。如果短周期$g$ -模式在这颗恒星中的存在被未来的观测令人信服地证实,VV 47可能是第一颗已知的脉冲星,其中$κ$ -机制和$ε$ -机制的模式驱动同时运作。

英文摘要:

We present a pulsational stability analysis of hot post-AGB H-deficient pre-white dwarf stars with active He-burning shells. The stellar models employed are state-of-the-art equilibrium structures representative of PG1159 stars derived from the complete evolution of the progenitor stars. On the basis of fully nonadiabatic pulsation computations, we confirmed theoretical evidence for the existence of a separate PG1159 instability strip in the $\log T_{\rm eff} - \log g$ diagram characterized by short-period $g$-modes excited by the $ε$-mechanism. This instability strip partially overlaps the already known GW Vir instability strip of intermediate/long period $g$-modes destabilized by the classical $κ$-mechanism acting on the partial ionization of C and/or O in the envelope of PG1159 stars. We found that PG1159 stars characterized by thick He-rich envelopes and located inside this overlapping region could exhibit both short and intermediate/long periods simultaneously. we study the particular case of VV 47, a pulsating planetary nebula nucleus that has been reported to exhibit a series of unusually short pulsation periods. We found that the long periods exhibited by VV 47 can be readily explained by the classical $κ$-mechanism, while the observed short-period branch below $\approx 300$ s could correspond to modes triggered by the He-burning shell through the $ε$-mechanism, although more observational work is needed to confirm the reality of these short-period modes. Were the existence of short-period $g$-modes in this star convincingly confirmed by future observations, VV 47 could be the first known pulsating star in which both the $κ$-mechanism and the $ε$-mechanism of mode driving are simultaneously operating.
